To address the problem of implementing and visualizing a red-black tree, we divide the solution into several steps: creating the `Node` class, implementing the red-black tree (`RedBlackTree`) with insertion and balancing operations, and visualizing the tree using Matplotlib. Each step is explained in detail, followed by the complete code.

### Step-by-Step Explanations

1. **Node Class**:
   - Represents each node in the tree with attributes for value, color, left/right children, and parent.
   - New nodes are initialized as red, with children pointing to a sentinel `NIL` node.

2. **RedBlackTree Class**:
   - Manages the tree structure, including insertion and balancing.
   - Uses a sentinel `NIL` node (black) to represent leaves.
   - Insertion follows BST rules, followed by fixing the tree to maintain red-black properties using rotations and recoloring.

3. **Tree Balancing (Insert Fix)**:
   - After inserting a node as red, fix violations of red-black properties.
   - Cases handled based on the uncle's color and node position (left/right child).

4. **Rotations**:
   - Left and right rotations adjust the tree structure to balance it after insertion.

5. **Visualization**:
   - Assigns coordinates to each node using a modified in-order traversal for horizontal placement and depth for vertical placement.
   - Uses Matplotlib to draw nodes (colored circles) and edges (lines between nodes).

### Solution Code

### Explanation and Assumptions

- **Node Class**: Stores value, color, and references to left/right children and parent. The default color for new nodes is red.
- **RedBlackTree Class**: Manages tree operations. Uses a sentinel `NIL` node to represent leaves (all black).
- **Insertion and Balancing**: After BST insertion, the tree is rebalanced using rotations and recoloring based on the uncle node's color and position.
- **Visualization**: Nodes are positioned using in-order traversal to determine horizontal placement and depth for vertical placement. Nodes are drawn as circles with their values, colored according to red-black properties.

### Limitations and Ambiguities

- **Visualization**: The in-order traversal-based positioning might not perfectly center parent nodes over their children, especially in unbalanced trees. This can lead to overlapping or misaligned nodes in complex structures.
- **Functionality**: The implementation does not handle node deletion, which is more complex and requires additional balancing logic.
- **Edge Cases**: The code assumes unique values; inserting duplicates may lead to incorrect behavior.
- **Performance**: The visualization may not scale efficiently for very large trees due to the simple positioning algorithm.

This solution provides a foundational implementation of a red-black tree with visualization, suitable for educational purposes and moderate-sized trees.
